One of the most annoying things about this is how completely SV senior leadership has circled wagons around this with tiresome doer-builder-haters derp. Because apparently getting back at evil journalists is that important, and validating Big Man theology comes first.

I’d like to see a few senior SV leaders break ranks and dissent here. This is poor leadership. Non-existent due diligence. Negligent handling of goodwill capital. Uncritical cronyism. Careless investing. Kool-aid. Tribal vendettas. Everything old economy gets accused of.

From ad tweep who knows: The drop off is mostly self inflicted. First: The CRO [@SEP] walked out Friday. She's trusted by the marketing community. So, Elon goes to meet agency heads in NY. The Twitter exec who runs the US walked him in and is a trusted partner at these agencies.

The one part I never understood was him suddenly giving up the legal fight to back out of the deal. Even if it was a long shot it would have been worth the time and money to… not do this. The trigger seemed to be discovery demands for more dms/texts. It’s like trump’s taxes.

At this point I’m not even going to pretend to read/tweet anything else on twitter besides twritter-twitter black hole physics. If you want my tweets on other topics they’re casts on farcaster. Go find me there. Until further notice I’m only here for the Musk show.

Musk claims to be keeping an enemies list, which he plans to use to call for a “thermonuclear” counter-boycott, yes: (hat tip to @theonlycsbv)

I still think this is fundamentally a sound business. Maybe it can’t be FAANG scale for some deep reason, but there’s got to be a way it can be sustainable at around the current level 🤔
